Smoky Eyes Asian style

My friend, Finency, sent me a tweet pic of an asian girl wearing smoky eyes which focused more on the lower lid. The pic isn’t that clear and heavily photoshoped, but I think this is what she wants. This is quite a typical smoky eyes you’ll find in most Japanese/Taiwanese magazines, very heavy on the outer V and lower lid with black eyeshadow to make the eyes look bigger.

I ran out of my individual lashes, so I didn’t apply any on my bottom lashes. In the picture that she sent me, though, the model has individual lashes on the outer half of the lower lashes. I think it’ll add a lot more drama if you add those lashes at the bottom 🙂

It’s quite a long tutorial, but the key to this look is blending! and keep the rest of the face simple since the eyes are very heavy.

How-to:

1. I prepped my lid by applying MAC Powersurgeeyeliner on the eyelid. I blended the liner using my finger tips to ensure that there’s no harsh edge.

2. Using a flat eyeshadow brush and Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, I applied Snakebite eyeshadow all over the lid.

3. Using a very small flat shader brush, I applied Urban Decay Blackout eyeshadow on the outer V of the eyes. I applied this with my eyes opened so I can see where I’ll place the crease.

4. Using a clean blending brush, I blended the black eyeshadow using a small circular motion towards the crease.

5. Using an angled brush, I made a winged liner using Urban Decay Blackout eyeshadow.
